This post is a little experiment. Instead of having first the German and then the English version, the language chances after every passage. I’m curious to know whether you like that or not. Does it disturb the reading or is it an improvment? Let me know!

After I decided to write about nature and nature-protection in Romania it was pretty clear that I had to go to the Danube Delta. There are several reasons for that decision. The Danube-Delta is the second biggest delta in Europe, it is the biggest border-crossing protection area in Europa and every year many tourist come to see Europe’s biggest pelican sanctuary. First, it looked like everything would work out really easily. Before going to Romania I wrote mails to several nature-organisations and one of them offered me to join them on a trip through the delta. Two days before the tour was supposed to start they called me to say that a lot of the other participants canceled. Due to that the price for the tour rose to 290€. I couldn’t afford tour anymore and so I decided to discover the Danube Delta on my own.
